A compactor for compacting a jobsite with a plurality of work areas includes a frame, a compacting element coupled to the frame and having a variable vibratory mechanism and providing a first compaction effort to a first work area on which the compactor is located and a control system. The control system determines a first compaction state for the first work area, determine a second compaction state for a second work area, receive a vibration measurement, determine a first vibration distance, and determine a second vibration distance. The control system also determines a second compaction effort for the second work area based on the first compaction state, the second compaction state, the vibration measurement, the first vibration distance, and the second vibration distance. The control system provides the second compaction effort to the second work area.
